So don't go berserk saying "you don't get the proper respect you should get thus the need to retire" don't blame the fans, it's your own doing that you got yourself in that situation. Fans respect and appreciate your skills for sure, but you can never attain the type of respect you long for years for as long as you keep choosing cheap tricky fights to make you look good and WOW some old veteran fans just because you intend to fight at higher weights with some great great names but we all know they aren't just old but rusty as well. Well, it's never too late after the oldie tito, you can always fight some real career threatening active fighters, boxers that the fans really want you to fight with, just clean them up, we know you're capable it's just a matter of execution,the heart and desire to do it. after that, all the respect in the world you ever longed will be yours once and for all.
You're acting as if 15 years have passed and Floyd is in his mid 40s, long retired, and never having faced another good challenger after the DLH fight. Since we all know he isn't going to retire, can we at least wait until the actual opponent is named before lashing into him for no reason. If he does in fact say that his next fight will be against either Mosley, Cotto, or the Williams-Margarito winner, this criticism is meaningless. All I'm saying is wait for something to be written in stone.
